One Happy Camper

Did you see this in the REA auction article on PSA home page?
"The 1916 Holmes-To-Homes Bread card of Joe Jackson, purchased just a few months ago by the consignor on eBay for $4,000, sold for a little more: the final price in the REA auction was $32,312."
I would imagine that person is one HAPPY Camper.
Wow!

Some people know what to look for and know how, where and where to move them but I am sure even that person never expected that final price .
Good for Him / Her

It was sold raw (or graded by an inferior grading company) if I remember right, thats what kept the final bids low on the eBay auction.
Holmes to Homes Bread is a very rare back "type" and until a small hoard of them surfaced recently they were considered the toughest back of the 20 different found in the M101-4/5 family.
The $32K was because of the front/back combo, Jackson is actually the 3rd best card in the set (Ruth, Thorpe).
Some of the price difference was the risk factor of buy raw from an unknown seller, or graded from REA. Still a healthy price.
